Limited z-travel

My felix 1.5 has limited z travel of only 183mm because the plastic part hits the coupling and z-spindle nut. Why is this and has anyone else had this problem?

To my knowledge this is a limitation in the design. I wrote to Guillaume about this a long time ago (1.0 version), but most likely he forgot about it when he did the update

I make models with SolidWorks, save as STL and splice with SFACT

i mean when you just have a stl file and you want to edit it without have the native data

to make models i use Catia V5 and teh Sfact witch is in teh Rapidhost for Fekix
